Ventilation systems provide fresh air to make rooms comfortable for occupants. Proper ventilation rates vary by area, with guestrooms requiring 1-1/2 air changes per hour and large kitchens needing 25-40 air changes. Mechanical ventilators use electric fans to increase natural ventilation, while kitchen hoods draw smoke, heat, and fumes away from cooking equipment. Water management is also discussed, with about 75% of supplied water needing drainage and disposal through sewer systems maintained by water providers. Architectural drawings include plumbing, electrical, and mechanical connections.

CHAPTER 10
VENTILATION AND UTILITIES Ventilation is a system or means of providing fresh and clean air. A room is properly ventilated when fresh air is sufficient for occupants to be comfortable.
AREA AIR CHANGES
GUESTROOM 1-1/2 AIR CHANGES A LARGE KITCHEN 25-40 AIR CHANGES MECHANICAL VENTILATORS Fan driven by electric motor as means of increasing ventilation by natural means Air conditioning in hot climate means adjusting the relative humidity of air and is heated by passing it through a chamber which is cooled later by a series of cold water pipes. KITCHEN VENTILATORS A hood or canopy mounted directly over cooking equipment, draws up the smoke, moisture, heat and fumes away from local institutional kitchens. WATER MANAGEMENT About 75% of the water supplied to a building has to be disposed through the drainage and sewerage system thus the sewer charge in the water bill. It is the responsibility and duty of the water concessionaires to provide and maintain sewers. The architectural drawings of the building for lodging or franchise operations will include plumbing, electrical and mechanical connections.
